Moose, I wonder if during 1980 you ever imagined those KM could be
digitized, and the resulting file shown / shared through something we
now take from granted, the internet. Me, I didn't.

I was happy when I managed to afford a large print from KM, or any
other positive film. Printing positive film here was not only
expensive, it was almost impossible.

The first time I could pay for one, the only photographer here in
Montevideo who was able to print a positive, did such so well that I
won a first prize in a photo contest organized by the Uruguayan
Medical Syndicate (a completely amateur contest, btw. )
<http://www.smu.org.uy/>. It was published in its Calendar, mixed with
poorly photographed paintings and sculptures. This contest continued
until 2007, now it's no longer sponsored due to many reasons. I won
the last two events, one from scanned Provia and the other with
scanned KM. I want to make it clear that I participated in those
events because they were done as a social activity inside my
profession.

Fernando.
